Have many people on here driven at Thruxton? Only ever been there once myself. Hilarious place. Right, left, right, left, right in quick succession then you don’t lift off until you get to the final chicane about 2 miles later! Would be truly mental with the sort of power levels some on here are running now.
Anglesey - just because its a great circuit and whenever I go its part of our annual adventure
Donny - its close (relatively), Craner’s is awesome and get it right (happens occasionally) and it really flows.
OP - its just epic and scares the bejeezus out of me, only been a couple of times (not including just attending for a curry!) and I’ve barely scratched the surface. Bloody miles away though.
Cadwell - only driven once and my ECU fxxxed up but its absolutely mega, only lower down the list because its properly miles away.
Bedford - SW circuit is the best and a great way to spend a Friday evening in the summer. OK its flat and a bit dull but very safe hooning. I get lost on the full circuit.
Bit sad that I’ve not been to OP or Cadwell this year
I’ve only done Bedford in the exige. It’s my favourite track and the easiest one to get too from North London. Jim’s noise cancelling-chambered backbox really made a difference last weekend and although I was mostly careful and lifted off past the noise meters, I didn’t see a noise board (except for one time when a rather loud clio cup car on slicks went past me at full chat).
All the following tracks have been done in hot hatches, in order of favouritism:
Cadwell - great fun, just a shame it’s so far away.
Snetterton (old layout) - Doing the 300 version next Sunday, looking forward to it although I’ve a feeling that Coram has been ruined (from a trackday perspective, it looks a lot harder, more technical and less fun than it used to be).
Oulton Park - also very good fun, but also a long way from me.
Silverstone - too big and wide for a clio 182, but would like to go back with the exige
Donnington Park - did it in a Megane 250 but it didn’t really grab me to be honest. Cadwell seemed far better (and only an hour further away from London!)
Last - Mallory Park - dull and kills front tyres. Not a fan.
Would like to do Brands next year, and Spa if I can get permission from the wife to leave her to look after a few months old baby for a weekend!
Silverstone GP - old one, not tried the new one yet
Anglesey - didn’t like church last time
Donny - After recent visits it’s gone to the bottom of my list - crap entry/exit to circuit, fuel too far away (if site not open) cafe is fooking expensive and apart from Craners not that exciting anymore oh and it’s all over in around 1:21 seconds - not that I’ve been timimg or anything
You have to say though mate all of the on site cafe’s are expensive. Fuel at Oulton Park is bloody miles away as well and there is no onsite option and if you dont find it exciting, then you simply aint trying hard enough!!
